'Finding Dory' takes down newcomers 'The BFG' and 'Tarzan' at the box office

There wasn't much of a fight put up by the newbies to the
multiplex, "The BFG" and "The Legend of Tarzan," as
Disney/Pixar's "Finding Dory" is No. 1 at the US box office for a
third consecutive week, with an estimated $41.9 million,
according to Variety.

By the time the Fourth of July holiday wraps, "Dory" will have
earned over $50 million over the long weekend and a domestic
total of over $370 million, putting it on track to be one of the
biggest animated sequels.

The latest attempt to bring Tarzan to the screen did better than
most projected, with a second place $38.1 million earning over three days and
around $45 million by Monday, but that's still not enough to make
up the $180 million it cost to make "The Legend of Tarzan." It
will certainly need help from the foreign box office.

While Steven Spielberg's CGI-fueled adaptation of Roald Dahl's
"The BFG" didn't bring in the crowds Disney hoped for its first
collaboration with the legendary filmmaker, as it took in just
$19.6 million ($23.6 million by Monday), according to Variety, to
come in fourth place.
